Sly comments when you are working on your car?

Puggy, you're not normally highly strung!?


I get comments about permanently broken cars (apparently even modifying counts as broken to most people), but tbh I just ignore them, why does it matter, what would twatting the person over the head achieve?

I do agree with you about working outside though, I hate it, over exposed, loads of people can see/hear you. And I live on a corner...with nosey neighbours both sides so can't away! I find myself trying to drag the trolley jack quietly ffs lol.

But I've got over that issue anyway, I just don't bother fixing it until absolutely necessary now.

Oh yeah tom, I forgot to mention, in real life where a person could knock me on my back with one punch I tend to hold back a bit more But this time I was considering a confrontation (maybe not hitting him though).

At the time I was doing strength training so I was really pumped up and felt like I could have taken them. Okay that bit is not true. Everywhere seems so exposed nowadays!

I wish I could get my car round the back of the house!

You need to chill out mate.
Who cares what anyone thinks

It was the fact that I was already at rock bottom more than anything.

There was this new little girl, must have been about four, i was working on the car and she walked past and said to her mum: "look mummy, his cars broken again"

Actually it was still broken from when they walked past three days prior

Heh, yeah the exact same thing happened when I got it back on the driveway from my smash in. Had it up on ramps and some girl/boy said "Look, he's working on his car again" to their mum and she was like "Yeah it's a right mess isn't it". And no, I didn't think about twatting the kid or the mum

I don't seem to get anything like that. I've had the neighbours talk to me while doing stuff but that's usually asking what I'm up to or saying that I take care of it. Even random people it's usually something positive. Possibly something to do with being surrounded by heavy metal objects though

I even broke my old car in the street, which was there for a month and the ph3 was parked up for a fair time while I was sorting the turbo. We get on with everyone though so I guess that helps.

I think it's where you live more than anything. If it's a quiet area full of middle class snobs then you are likely to cop it whereas if they are more friendly and normal people then you are likely to get shown interest and chattyness.
